malnpudl at 11:59pm on 16/01/2015I watched the 12 Monkeys pilot, having been tempted by the extended preview that was released a short while ago. The teaser looked promising, but I thought the episode itself was really disappointing. There was way too much stupid.
Okay, it's a pilot, I can forgive a bit of stupid, but when I'm counting idiocies off on my fingers as the episode progresses, there's a real problem.
There's just no excuse for the bone-headed certainty that killing this one dude would solve everything and *poof* the world right when they had nothing but a name to go on, and even that wasn't correct.
And did whatshername, Cassie, even mention that guy Oliver to Cole? He certainly didn't say anything when he got back to 2043 and had his debriefing.
Those were just the most egregious brainfails.
I don't know. Is it worth going back for more? What do you think?
